CRUDE-OIL BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed January 21, 1910. Serial No.

Patented Dec. 20, 1910. 539,214.

To all whom it may concern:

e it known that I, ARCHIE CHAPMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pleasantville, in the county of Fairfield and State of Ohio, have invented a new and use ful Crude-Oil Burner, of which the following is a specification.

his invention relates to liquid fuel burners designed more particularly for burning crude oil, and it has for its object to provide in a burner of this kind novel and improved air feeding means, and also to provide a structure which enables the burner to be readily applied to any ordinary cooking or heating stove.

TVith these objects in view, consists in a novel construction the invention and arrangedescribed and to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the urner. Fig. is a longitudinal section showing the burner in position on the grate of the stove. Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing, the main body of the b g, at its ends, is provided with legs 9, whereby it is supported on the grate 10 of the stove, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The casing serves as a support for the air feeding pipes to be presently described, and the top 5 thereof serves burner pan.

Extending through the casing, and open ing through the top and bottom thereof, are three air feeding pipes 11, 12 and 13, respectively. These pipes are spaced from each sides thereof. Each pipe rises a suitable dis e casing. The u per end of the middle pipe is fitted with a dome shaped cap 1 1 formed with a pair of downwardly directed discharge nozzles 15. he air passing up the pipe 12 enters the cap, and is discharged downwardly in the "lirection of the top of the casing, throtwh he nozzles. The air passing through the p the top 5 pipes 11 and ir to support charged is mounted a cover comprising a top 16, and end walls 17 spacing the said top a suitable distance from feeding pipes is open at the sides so that the products of combustion can escape. Extending through the top 16 of the cover is an oil supply pipe 18. This pipe leads to a suitable source of and is downwardly directed through the top 16 so as to discharge on the cap 14.

In operation, a small quantity of oil is run on the cap 14, from which it drips on of the casing. This oil is ignited, whereupon the cap and the top of the easbecome highly heated, so that the oil top of the casin is at once vaporized Air to support combustion passes through the pipes 11, 12 and 13 The air passing through the pipe 12 is highly heated before it issues from the nozzles 15, and said nozzles also direct this heated air to the oil burning on the top of the casing. The air the spaces between the grate bars, and the draft is regulated by adjusting the ordinary dampers of the stove.

A burner onstructed as herein described can be readily applied to any ordinary heating or cooking stove, no special stove struc ture being required. The cover is removable, which makes the air pipes 11, 12 and 13 readily accessible for the purpose of cleaning the same. The flames from the burning oil escape through the open sides of the cover, and are thus spread through the fire pot of the stove. The urner generates an intense degree of heat, and is economical in its consumption of oil. The legs 9 space the bottom 6 of the casing from the grate so that there is an unobstructed flow of air to the pipes 11, 12 and 13.

at is claimed is:

A liquid fuel burner comprising a plate,

an air supply pipe passing therethrough,

its discharge end fitted with a cap provided with discharge nozzles extending in a direction to discharge downwardly toward the plate, additional air supply pipes 5 opening through the plate, and discharging upwardly, and an oil supply pipe discharging on the cap.

and having I In testimony that I claim the foregoing as l my own, I. have hereto allixed my signature l in the presence of two witnesses.

ARCHIE CHAPMAN.
